In a case brought by the the Boston Globe, a judge will decide (at 9 a.m. EST) whether to lift gag orders on a case involving the nasty divorce of Mitt Romney booster and Staples kingpin Tom Stemberg and his ex-wife Maureen. Gloria Allred is apparently representing someone involved, probably Maureen.

Allred is brilliant and politically very canny—it's hard to believe she would bother unless what was in the papers, and what Maureen is dying to say, is more damaging than a garden-variety divorce or even an affair.

But we may never know, as there's a good chance the judge will deny this request.

The other surprise is one being perpetrated by Donald Trump. Less savvy politically, he's more focused on sensationalism, so it's not impossible to imagine he may really have something stupid, like the Obamas' divorce papers (which would not cause many waves unless they contained contradictory personal info or REALLY unsavory details of why they almost divorced).
